brain ants, ant ants, ATLANTIS

I feel a major book purge coming on.

This is an exaggeration.

I feel A book purge coming on, which always seems major even when it's necessary and will improve my life. (I keep going to book sales and it's not like I'm coming home empty handed.)

ANYWAY. Do you ever get rid of books? How do you do it? Is there a system? There was a time in my life when I'd have said never would I ever, but I'm older and wiser now. Any collection needs maintaining or it will get stale and die - I've bought some things that seemed like if not a good idea at least a good deal, and some of those simply must go. It won't be bad once I get going, but I find myself reluctant to get going! I need the shelf space and there are some obvious candidates, and YET. Hmmm. A cushy conundrum, really.

Other things occupying my attention today:

• Busby the cat is feeling better enough that he does not care to eat his fancy prescription food and instead wants to eat (I mean REALLY wants to eat) Otis the striped cat's food. Again - not a problem with dire consequence, but still a problem.  
• Soda Crush Saga. 
• what will happen when I've seen every single British crime show? 
• I'm finally reading Wolf Hall! Have you read it? Did you like it? 
• my new calendar book that I made myself from a moleskine. I love it. More on this at a later date. 
• sewing: what next? I've got a long list of things I want to do, but I need to just jump in and do something - anything. (a familiar story.) 
• stupid black ants I hate you even though you're just doing what nature designed you to do. 
• blog stuff  - this joint looks very 2008. WHAT TO DO. It's not that I care so much what it looks like (although I do), it's that it's not very twenty-teens functional and we're in the middle of the twenty-teens! 
• pinterest, I love you

Okay. Enough from me for now. I will return.
